Shortcut to Word 2007
In Word 2003, I had a shortcut with /n to open Word without a blank page
being opened. I have tried to do this in Word 2007 as follows: Right-click on Microsoft Office Word 2007 in the Start Menu, send to Desktop, Create Shortcut. Right-click on Shortcut. However, I get stuck there as I do not have an option to add /n as there is no 'Start in' listed. Can you help please? |

Shortcut to Word 2007
Instead of trying to create a shortcut from the item on the Start menu
(which is itself only a shortcut), go to the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12. Right-click the file WinWord.exe and choose Send To Desktop. That will create a shortcut that you can edit. IMPORTANT: the /n switch goes at the end of the command line in the Target box, NOT the Start In box. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. janey wrote: In Word 2003, I had a shortcut with /n to open Word without a blank page being opened.
